TAS = True Air Speed, then?

One more thing - Why does one measure high speeds in Mach rather than Kts? When refering to Concorde or a Mil Jet, it always seems to be in Mach?
Surely, as Mach is variable according to altitude, temperature etc, it would be more accurate to use a speed in Kts?

Just curious

Cheers again
